Does anyone know of a good welding shop near Terre Haute? I'm ordering the TF front gussets tonight, but I don't have a welder.

 

One thing in life that ive learned is that for the cost of paying someone to do something, you can usually buy the tools and do it yourself. Then you have the tools for next time. I had a bad axle on my quad. for what it would have cost for the axle, I bought a welder. Now i have a welder. For what it would cost me to have someone do my regear, I bought a press, bearing splitter, etc, and now I have all of that stuff. And as an added bonus, you get to feel good about doing the job yourself. Just do your hoimework. The gusset project is in an area that you don't wanna overheat. there is a good writeup on it if you decide to tackle it yourself.

 

Unless of course you don't know anything about welding. That's probably not the greatest place to learn.

 

If you get a mig welder it's a piece of cake. You could learn quick.
Remember they sell jells that you can apply to the part you don't want to over heat.

Sorry about jackin the thread. I'm in California so I am of no help to you.

 

My gussets were the first real welding project I did. They have been on for almost a year and are doing fine.

I installed the EVO's and the TF's look like they have less weld and less to concern about heating up the ball joints. My 2 cents get a Mig welder practice a little and do it yourself

 

Rich, you would be right... and right. For the cost I could probably get a welder, and I can't weld. I can make marks on some metal but that's about it. I've only touched a welder a few times and that was years ago.

 

Mig is easy to learn.

 

i would be happy to weld them on for you jc. you can come down to my place or i can bring the mig into town if need be. if you want a pro i have a guy that travels around and welds for a living and i can give you his number if you want. i welded mine on and consider myself a decent welder but i don't do it for a living. let me know what you want to do. mine have ben on since jan and no issues as of yet.

 

That would be Awesome!

 

give me a ring and we can work out a day. i need to weld up the bush hog also so i will do that when we do your gussets. this sunday might work for me in the late afternoon. i am 45 min from terre haute.
